NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — EB5 Affiliate Network (EB5AN), a leading EB-5 investment fund manager, regional center operator, and consultancy firm will host a live webinar on Thursday, September 9, 2021, at 3:00 PM EDT, to discuss how to approach the direct EB-5 investor source-of-funds process for EB-5 investors, particularly investors from the Middle East. EB5AN founders and managing partners Sam Silverman and Mike Schoenfeld will be joined by expert immigration lawyers Mitch Wexler and Kristi Ngo of Fragomen, a leading immigration law firm.
“The current opportunity for direct EB-5 investment at $500,000 may not last long,” said Silverman. “Those foreign nationals looking to immigrate to the United States should act quickly to take advantage of the lower investment threshold. Successfully navigating the source-of-funds process is vital to a successful immigrant petition. This process presents a specific set of challenges for potential investors from the Middle East.”
While it is clear that USCIS wants higher minimum investment amounts, it is unclear when direct EB-5 investments might return to the $900,000 minimum.
Silverman emphasized that investors shouldn’t wait. “Anyone thinking of making an investment needs to take steps now to get their funds in place and begin the source-of-funds documentation process. The window of opportunity to invest at $500,000 is closing even faster than many had guessed. Time is short.”
Interested investors should attend the webinar on September 9. Enquiries should be sent by e-mail to info@eb5an.com.
